Re: "Neat" Pictures I believe that's in the Sedlec Ossuary. It's a church, though it may have a place to serve meals and drinks.

Re: "Neat" Pictures Robert Rodriguez has only let me down twice (and those were movies he made for his kids). Machete was brilliant and it's a film that Rob directs, I know I'll have a good time watching it.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Three Episode (9 months) into my Star Wars game, someone finally lost an arm. She looked around the room and said: "Who's got one thumb and is catatonic? This guy!" There was a break in the combat as everyone recovered from laughing.

Re: A Thread for Random Videos I feel that Tom invented the disappearing pencil trick.

Re: A Thread for Random Videos Prepare to be freaked out a little. Start the video below and skip to 1:30. Then just look at this picture of Heath Ledger as the Joker while listening to the interview with Tom Waits from 1979. I think we know where Ledger got his source material.

Re: [New Product] Champions Complete This, absolutely this. I had the opportunity recently to share HERO with a friend of mine. He's very much a crunchy gamer. He was very impressed with HERO's ability to do anything you want, but, it was very nice to see the viewpoint of a player that had not watched the game evolve over 30 years. The book he was most impressed with? Champions Powers. From the perspective of the uninitiated it was less a book of power sets and more of a view of the parts of the engine (so to speak) from all angles. He got to see how we all think in one large book.

Re: "Neat" Pictures I'll definitely share.

Re: "Neat" Pictures It is pictures like these that have Jen and I booking sessions with a photographer for D*Con.

Re: A Thread for Random Videos I love that episode.

Re: [New Product] Champions Complete Thank you. This was always my preference.

Re: "Neat" Pictures It's hard not to love Bellechere's costumes. Another favorite of ours is DJ Spider (who is super friendly and will always discuss costuming with anyone who asks)

Re: "Neat" Pictures Thanks. Now I know who she is. Jen and I were reading up on how she did the Wasp costume. She used magnets under the body suit to hold the metal (gold) pieces in place. Incredibly clever.

Re: [New Product] Champions Complete I'll just open my wallet and you take what you need.

Re: "Neat" Pictures Then she is a very clever lady for taking that angle and I feel smart for catching it! Thanks.

Re: "Neat" Pictures I saw another pic of her and she had the Mauser. The stockings made me wonder if she was doing Rocketeer or Betty dressed as Rocketeer, but SDCC has done a LOT of gender swapped heroes and heroines over the past two years.

Re: A Thread for Random Videos She won by a ridiculous lead. Her raw enthusiasm is impressive and she's poetry in motion when she runs.

Re: Make Your Own Motivational Poster Even English language scholars have said that you can forget the preposition rule for the sake of clarity. Only pedants still push this one.

Re: "Neat" Pictures

Re: "Neat" Pictures Be happy to. I did some research on people who had done the mask and I wasn't really happy with any of the techniques, but I liked some of their ideas. Most people dyed cheese cloth and glued it to a circle of wire and pulled it across their face and attached it with string or hooks to go over their ears. I thought that would make breathing and seeing difficult, so I: 1) Bought a Venetian style card stock mask. They are very tough, like the drink carriers you get at fast food places. 2) I widened the eye holes and nose holes and removed the chin (since the mask is smaller than my face) 3) Built a wire frame to cover my lower face and chin and attached it to my base mask. 4) Took the cotton batting that you use for quilting can covered the whole thing so that under the "skin" of the mask it would have some softness (like real human skin). I then cut away the batting that was over the eye holes. 5) Took a child sized dance leotard and cut out a section big enough to cover the mask. That gave me two pieces, a thick one and the sheer lining. 6) Placed the thick fabric over the mask and cut out the eye holes again. This was to make the area under the final layer look more like flesh. 7) Finally I cover the mask with the sheer lining. It's pulled tight enough that I can see through it. When I breath it actually draws cool air into the mask and there is no restriction in my breathing. The mask is held in place tightly by the hat. As for duration of wear, I wore it yesterday with no heat or breathing issues until my gaming group told me to stop (because no-face people are creepy) and that was about an hour.
